You just need to use the <b> tag i.e.,

$text_dateretour="Date retour:<fontname='Helvetica'><b>15/05</b></fontname>";
echo $text_dateretour;

Ah,, Can you try the given code in empty .php file for instance ? – Sulthan Allaudeen May 27 '15 at 09:53
so that's my code `$text_dateretour="Date retour:15/05"; $p->fit_textline($text_dateretour, 478, 520, "fontsize=10 italicangle=-12 fillcolor=black");` – user3791255 May 27 '15 at 09:54
I don't know what you use for `$p->fit_textline` but you may try this `$p->fit_textline($text_dateretour, '478', '520', "fontsize='10',italicangle='-12',fillcolor='black'");` – Sulthan Allaudeen May 27 '15 at 09:58
i don't understand i try this but i have not 15/05 on bold and i see the balise fontname='hel.... – user3791255 May 27 '15 at 10:00
Are you echo this `$text_dateretour` or telling the final result ? – Sulthan Allaudeen May 27 '15 at 10:01
when i do echo $text_dateretour die() it's gave me Date retour:**bold**15/05 but on the PDF not i don't know why – user3791255 May 27 '15 at 10:04

You can always try to use the "fakebold" option. So your optList would be "fontsize='10',italicangle='-12',fillcolor='black' fakebold"
